Once we determine what pieces of the project we needed to do, the crew was fast, neat and knowledgeable. They worked two days and you wouldn't know they were here. (aside from the hammers and ladder noise) They knew what they needed to do. The installer even identified a better product to seal the chimney than was originally quoted. He also identified we had work on the bath vents that didn't need to be done. Jason had added to the quote in case as he didn't see the ventilation. (minor cost savings). He quickly resolved and didn't waste anytime. It looks great and we are waiting for the next rain to see if the wider drip edge fixed our issues.

Had to pay $30 additional dollars for that, which I thought was unnecessary since without a complaint I already paid much more than their initial estimate. In my opinion, the lack of another company in the area is the reason why they get called in. We have since switched over to another company 40 minutes away. Finally, this year we hired the new company to come and fix a leak in the a/c unit and the leak happened to be from the exact same area that Rhodenizer claimed they fixed last year.

Chimney Repair reviews from real Angi homeowners in Nathalie, VA
It was a fantastic experience! We got weekly reports with photographs of the work being done. At least once a week we talked with Owner, Tim Welsh or John Thomas, his Project Manager. We drove up only once in the middle of the four-month repair to have an on-ground meeting. Other than that,...

"Our house was filling with smoke when we lit a fire so we called for service thinking we had creosote buildup clogging the flue. It turned out the damper was stuck in the closed position causing the smoke. He was able to quickly diagnose the issue and even returned on a weekend day to complete the job. The only issue is that with our first fire, the house again filled with smoke and I placed a call back to inquire what his thoughts were on the matter and he never returned my call. Ultimately, we decided it was downdrafts causing the smoke and we have been able to enjoy our fireplace since without incidents. Cost $100"

Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts
Repairs typically take 1-2 days, though extensive damage or structural work can extend project timelines.
Metal roofs often benefit from snow guards because the slick surface can lead to snow avalanches off of your roof, potentially damaging cars or personal property below and putting your family at risk of injury. Low-slope metal roofs may not require snow guards if your area doesn’t see heavy snow accumulation, but it’s a good idea to install them for security.
Whether you should repair or replace your roof boils down to the scope of the damage. If you need to replace more than 20% or 30% of your roof, then it’s probably a good idea to just replace the entire roof, as leaving older sections up can leave parts of your roof open to more issues. By replacing your roof, you can have peace of mind that no pesky leaks are sneaking into your home.
There are advantages and disadvantages to metal roofs in cold climates. Metal roofing stands up extremely well to harsh winters as long as it is properly insulated. Snow and ice slide right off residential metal roofs, preventing the formation of ice dams; but because of this, they may require snow guards, which prevent the ice and snow that slide off a roof from causing a sort of "mini avalanche" that can damage property and people below.
The biggest complaint most homeowners have when it comes to metal roods is this material’s susceptibility to noise, particularly during heavy rain or hail. While some people appreciate the sound, others find it disruptive. Additionally, metal roofs can dent from impacts and may require regular inspections to ensure fasteners remain secure over time.
